Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Mia's POV: ]

"Huuu… are you sure Young Master Axion Heliox Kromet is inside?"

"Undoubtedly, my lady."

"Damn."

"Gluglug?"

"He? Well, he's someone I admire. His works to be specific. They are amazing. He is amazing."

I was called for a private talk with the rulers of Lakmer and the emperor of the Roxanna empire, and their partners.

They were right behind this door, and, I wasn't actully worried about them even though I would be meeting them for the first time. They were people that I could handle.

However, as this female knight said, the young master of Heliox was also here. And, there was only one person people referred to as young master of Heliox when not referring him with his countless other nicknames.

"Glugluglug~!"

"Ah, it's not like I am afraid of him. There's no way I would be afraid of him. It's more like, I am excited, but, uncertain. It's a unique feeling you have when you are going to see someone you have admired for a long time for the first time in your life. My fingers are cold, hehe.?"

I was a little anxious since I did not know what I would stay to him or what I would even do when I am facing him for real… but, this was an opportunity. I know that much.

"Glugluglup~!"

"Haha, that's right. Threre is no need for me to be like this."

I patted the cool head of the creature that had an uncertain form floating before me. My Vienna. My first genuine creation that I spent almost my everything into.

She was cute, certainly. And smart, and pretty.

It was sad that only I could understand what she was saying but, we can work it out in the future. Skills were out there and wer could learn the Mana speech from vice captain when we go back as well so it was fine~.

"Alright, mister knight. We are ready now."

"You can enter whenever you want then. They are expecting you for a while now."

"Then I made them wait, damn…"

They were people with a lot more precious time than mine. And besides, I was free for the day anyway with the end of the second round of the competition. And I have passed as well so there was nothing for me left in this arena. While on the other hand, the people behind this door had so much important work that many lives and the world's stability depended upon them.

Taking more than necessary of their time, would be a bad thing all in itself.

-Knock. Knock.

"Coming in."

I went inside the special room dedicated to these kind of special conversations and as soon as I was inside, before the pretty interior of the place, the decoration, or the scene of twilight right behind the window on the other side, my eyes fell on the charismatic figures present in this place.

"Welcome Miss Mia. Looks like you were a little anxious."

The emperor of one of the strongest empires on this continent was here, the president of the Lakmer was here with head of the current Lakmer's royal family and, aside from their partners, there were two people here that though did not possess as high of a status than the others, were just as charismatic as anyone else.

"And welcome to you too, Miss Vienna."

"Hmm? How do you know her name?"

I haven't told them her name to anyone, not even the people present in the arena a while ago and unless they had read my lip movements accurately, there was no way they would know her name either… but then again, these weren't any normal people I was standing before.

Especially the two of them…

'It's him. It's really him! And beside him… it's her.'

The emperor that people knew as (The ruler of flames), with his three well known empresses was as overwhelming as I had expected. The President and his Lady deserved the respect that the society gave them, just their cherish was more than enough to freeze me on my place, and the same with Lord Justin and his Lady that was one of the most well known 'creator' in this world.

And among them were these two… a young boy not older than me, with his princely golden blond hair, his deep red eyes, his strong built, as well as the unique presence he possessed that… was one of a kind in itself. It was unbelive!

'He's more amazing up close than I had expected! Oh lord!'

And his fiancée beside him, the representative of Atraxia… she was a lot different from what I had expected.

"Haha, we can talk about that over some special tea, right? Why don't you two take a seat?" Lady Carolina spoke up and advised us with a relatively calmer tone. Her aura was also quite gentle than the others. 

She was a peculiar person to consider normal or special.

"Gluglu~! Gluop~!"

Vienna went ahead and sat right before young master Axion and Lady Reinelle on the long seat with an excited expression for some reason, and, though her sudden excitement after seeing the two of them was quite a new thing for me, she looked overjoyed for some reason as well.

It was a strange behaviour from her that I couldn't understand, but for now, I sat down beside her, which was right before young Master Axion.

"Glugluuuuu~?"

"Hmmm?! What, no! Vienna! She is a humna! How can you say that-"

[ "Hehe, no. I am not. It's just that I am a special person, as you can see. And this pretty special as well, as you can see." ]

"Glugluop~!"

"Hmmm?"

Did she just…?

"Glu?"

"Glugluo?! Gluoooooooo!"

"No, wait! Did you just…?!"

Did he just produce the same kind of voice as Vienna does with his mouth?! What the! How can he produce voice of a bubbling water so accurately with his voice?!

[ "Hehe, no, no. We both are like your master, just a little more special. Anyway, it's nice to meet you~?" ]

"Glugluglop~!"

"Haha, you have birthed quite a lovely one, Lady Mia."

"H-hun?! Y-yes! Thanks!"

W-w-what was that? Did he just smile?! No, what the hell!

'Why is his smile similar to vice captain!? Shit, shit, shit. I shouldn't be thinking such things in a place like this! Calm down Mia… haaa… calm down.'

Young master Axion, he was understanding what Vienna saying, from the looks of it, Lady Reinelle seemed to understand her as well. But, unlike him who can speak in the same language, she was using some kind of skill or a unique kind of Mana speech to reproduce Vi's voice that we all can understand as well. 

Ultimately, both of them can talk with her! Not just understand her words instinctively or perceive her feelings, but they can actually understand and converse with her!

'Holy lord! They actually are amazing!'

I was keeping my expectations low when they said I would be meeting the two young people that were in their own unique league alredy. 

They weren't compared to the prodigies but their talents and abilities were so well knows that everyone at least knew about them, even the people who had never ever heard of the names of the twelve prodigy like me.

"Then, Master Axion? Will you please?" Emperor August signalled something to young master Axion and he nodded with a smile on his face, walked behind the couch they were on and, went to the small kitchen like area with some attractive ingredients and teacups-, wait, no!

"Young master Axion is going to make the tea?!"

He himself?! 

The creator of some of the greatest beverages in this world, was going to make tea for us himself?!

'Was he here to specially make tea for everyone? Oh my god, that's so cool!'

He could be around all these important people and he just has to make some tea? Wasn't that just amazing~?

"Hohoho. Looks like Lady Mia is a fan of Master Axion."

"Of course~! I am-, ah… ahem! I apologise for that, Lord president. I am merely a great admirer of his works. That's it."

What the hell am I doing right now?! 

The emperor of the rulers of the Western continent is here, the lord of the household blessed by the divinities is here as well, and even with all these imporetnt people aside, young master Axion's fiancée is here! 

What would she think of me if I behaved like this?!

"Lady Mia." 

I was in the middle of sorting out my thoughts once again when Lady Reinelle called me out with her pretty, calm, charming voice.

It was a unique voice in itself, has something special about it, however, her voice was nowhere near as special as those… wonderful eyes.

"Just relax. And be yourself."

"…?"

She was attractive, her dress made her already perfect figure even more attractive, her face could charm anyone that looked at her, her finely braided hair levelled up her physical attractiveness. But the eyes she had, the rumoured pink eyes that could see through the truth of anything, they had an ethereal beauty of their own. 

Just looking at her, looking into her eyes calmed my wildly beating heart. And washed my tension with a strange wave of calmness.

"Why don't we talk about the main reason we called you here while Master Axion finishes preparing the special teas, Lady Mia?"

"Yes… Lady Carolina. That would be better."

"Glueg glu?"

That's right. I am not here to simp over my pretty idol. This is related to my profession, my creation, my child. Admiration can wait…

"Alright then, let me here you out first."

"You know how this works, hun? That will make things easier, honey."

Everyone knew what it meant when this specific group wanted to see a participant right after a round of the competition. They had the priority chance in the negotiations when it was a product, but in my case when it was a 'being' that could affect the entire world in some way, the talk wasn't going to be just about some patent and protection purchase. 

I know this talk was going to be pretty long. Perhaps this night will go after this thing if I can fight back agaist these people in a negotiation but, if they have young master Axion on their side, perhaps, things might not go as smoothly as I wanted.

It would be a different matter if he is an independent entity here though. 

I should check that first-

"Ah, so, just for information, Lady Mia. The three of us are three independent parties that are going to talk here. 

Lady Vera will represent the empire side, I will be prpresenting the Principality, while Master Axion is also another special entity that has a lot to talk about you and your creations today."

Hmmm? Really?

Lady Carolina was the one to say that so I wanted to asked that question out loud, but, lips froze in their place.

I knew these people, and they were very unique in every way I could think about.

Their political authority was one of the world's central forces, something other's couldnt touch even with unfathomable resources and power.

They were untouchable on their own, that's what gave them the right to have this first talk with the participants of the competition while on the other hand…

Master Axion was nowhere near them.

He was a genious, yes. Someone with a great lot of resources and talents but, he wasn't untouchable like these two parties…

So, how was it that they were giving him the chance to have a talk in a matter as important as this one?

And, in the first place, why would they do something like that?

"Alright then, our side will start first."

Was young master Axion, something more than I knew about…? Someone that could stand on the same level as these two forces and have so much power, resources, connections, and authority that they themselves believed that he could back me and protect my creation, as well as they could?
